Selected puzzle details

Another sumptuously clad, but demure beauty - Haruyo has lost no opportunity to show us as many layers as possible.

Original title: Tsukiakari

The artist Morita Haruyo studied both Japanese art and kimono design, and she combines these with elements of her own Western-influenced technique. (She travelled to London in 1977, exactly the year I [Brian Chandler] first came to Tokyo.)

Morita is her family name: she follows the tradition of signing - and sealing - paintings with her given name only.
